Lola

Hello, my name is Lola. My animal id is #14420. I am a female gray dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 22-Nov-2017.

Lola is at risk for medical reasons. Lola has contracted Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. Behaviorally, Lola has been assessed as being suited to a dog experienced home.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A volunteer writes: “Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl….”. Our Lola certainly is beautiful enough to be a showgirl, and also the cover girl for plus-size doggy wear, as well as the founder of Doggy Weight Watchers here at ACC. Rubenesque and stunning, Lola has clearly been fed with love as her coat shines, her tail never stops wagging, she’s fun, friendly and affectionate. So quiet in her kennel waiting her turn for a walk, she’s likely housetrained, pulls on the leash when she decides there’s a scent she absolutely must investigate, but otherwise walks nicely. Lola loves treats and takes them gently, plays with toys, hops up on the bench, smiles and smiles and smiles. Super affectionate, Lola loves to give and get kisses, and is effervescent in everything she does. Surely voted Best Smile and Most Popular in school, Miss Lola shines in everything she does. She has an amazing personality, not overpowering, but friendly, enthusiastic and perfect. No way to have a case of the blahs when you’re around this gorgeous girl. Hopping back in her kennel when our time together was over, Lola flashed her award winning smile. She’s a gem, so run, don’t walk to come meet Miss Lola today.

Details on my behavior are…

Upon intake, Lola was wagging her tail and allowed counselor to approach her and pet her. Lola was energetic and was constantly jumping on the client and would head butt the client in the face. Lola allowed counselor to collar her and take a picture and went into the kennel without a struggle.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below)

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control

Potential challenges comments:: Lola may jump up enthusiastically onto her caregiver’s, licking face. It is recommended that default behaviors such as ‘leave it’, ‘sit/stay’, and ‘down’ are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended.

**BEING OVERLOOKED*** LOLA needs comments. She also needs to be shared and, if you can please, pledge. Only 7 dogs on tonight’s list, please don’t let any of them be overlooked. every little bit helps get these pups noticed which will help they get their forever home or a foster home. Either way, it saves their lives.
